Regarding Specious Claims of "Guilt by Association"

Dear Mhu Cao,

Guilt by association yes indeed. By the association of you to your words I'd have to say you are a racist.

Apparently, it takes one to know one. This proves the point that it takes no intelligence to call one a racist or to cry guilt by association, just the ability to type the letters.

Apparently, because you didn't dispute my central thesis, you also agree with everything I said, up to the point where I mention Obama. Thank you. At least we agree on something.

Now, because your answer was vaguely hostile, I am forced to assume that (a) you are an Obama supporter, (b) you are a minority, (c) you are a black separatist, (d) you are a slavery reparationist, or (e) some combination of (a), (b), (c), and (d). I also must assume that you believe you are speaking on behalf of others like you.

Perhaps you are. Whether you are representative of all Obama supporters remains to be seen (although it is likely). However, I think it is accurate to state that you do not speak for all minorities, even people of your particular race. I do expect such responses from separationists and reparationists.

Unfortunately, you surrendered your opportunity to point out where I am going wrong. Perhaps you can't. If you can provide me with halfway decent citations to sources, which quote Obama on his positions, I am willing to rethink my views.

Don't you think that Obama owes it to both sides of the debate -- even yours -- to make his position clear?

Your response wasn't quite logical or well-articulated. It doesn't make the grade. Too bad, Roscoe.
